Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the environmental impact of the proposed plan by the Europe Asia Pipeline Company to store and transport oil and distillates from the UAE to Europe.
Answered by
Lord Callanan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
We welcome the normalisation of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. We are aware of the preliminary agreement subsequently announced on 20 October between companies in both countries to collaborate in the storage and transfer of oil and oil products through the Europe Asia Pipeline Company’s (EAPC) infrastructure. Her Majesty’s Government is not a party to this commercial deal.
